Modalities - Therapeutic Essential Oils

Essential oils represent the DNA of plants. They are their essence (their Jing in Chinese medicine term), the result of millions of years of evolution. Plants developed these aromatic, volatile, lipophilic substances as a response to their environment. The essential oils are acting as the immune system of the plant.﻿

Materia Medica

The famous Chinese physician from the Ming dinasty, Li ShiZhen (1518-1593), listed, in his Compendium of Materia medica, 1892 medicinal substances; 355 entries for minerals and 11 entries for essential oils.

Plants, mammals and insects react in the same ways against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Human beings have evolved side by side with plants and have been using them all along as medicinals; the essential oils help us to fight microbial attacks.

Essential oils have a deep psychological effect on humans and are often used as a medium to connect with our spiritual being (incense, perfumes).

Following the Chinese medicine paradigms we use Essential Oils to correct imbalances on the physical, emotional and spiritual level. We may recommend a formula to be applied on acupuncture points, or diffused in a room, or ingested, or in the form of suppositories.

Due to their ability to protect the integrity of the cell's make up (DNA) Therapeutic Essential Oils are excellent remedies against viruses responsible for illnesses such as: the common cold, the flu, shingles; bacteria responsible for illnesses such as: intestinal parasites, pneumonia, strep throat, etc. ; fungi responsible for illnesses such as candida, athletes foot, bronchial infestation, etc.
